Right Coast Taqueria

Right Coast Taqueria (16 Commack Rd., Deer Park): This fast-casual, industrial-looking taqueria located across from the Deer Park Tanger Outlets serves up traditional Mexican and Central American fare, like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas.

A 10-inch flour tortilla is fried into the shape of a taco shell, which is then filled with classic toppings. Choose from four meats (chicken, steak, shredded beef and pork), plus toppings, like cheese, lettuce, avocado, beans, sour cream, and homemade salsas ($11.95). More info: 631-940-8300; rightcoasttaqueria.com

Daily, customers can find mini and regular-sized cupcakes, but with a one-day heads up, Polito can bake cupcakes from "the size of a cantaloupe," meant for 16 to 20 people, to ones the size of a "large pumpkin," meant for 40 to 50. The sweet treat, typically made up of four layers of cake and three layers of filling, is completely edible and customizable -- choose from vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, marble, funfetti and more for the base and cookie dough, s'mores, dulce de leche and cookies and cream for the filling. Buttercream swirled on top is the final touch. All orders require an initial 50-percent deposit. Small, from $27, to large, from $150. More info: 516-409-8866; nycupcakery.com

Ciao Baby

Ciao Baby (50-74 Sunrise Hwy., Massapequa Park): Ciao Baby's description of its rice ball is as memorable as the signature menu item: 'It's as big as your head." The head turning appetizer serves five to six people and consists of risotto mixed with chopped meat, peas and marinara sauce. It's finished with melted mozzarella and topped off with ricotta cheese and more sauce (more marinara or vodka sauce) and costs $16. Ciao Baby also serves a "famous volcano" that includes 14 scoops of vanilla or chocolate ice cream, berries, crushed Oreos, candied walnuts and whipped cream inside of a milk chocolate shell. It's enough for six to seven people, $22. More info: 516-799-5200; ciaobabyrestaurant.com

That Meetball Place

That Meetball Place (206 Main St., Farmingdale): Meatballs might be the star at this two-story joint in Farmingdale, but when it comes to jumbo-sized eats, potato "tots" take the lead. The tots, which stand two-and-a-half inches tall and are approximately the size of jumbo marshmallows, are stuffed with Cheddar cheese and bacon and are served with a horseradish sauce. TMP tots come in orders of six ($10) or 10 ($15). Pretzels that measure 11 inches across are also offered in traditional salted, garlic asiago, toasted onion and everything, and can feed up to four.

Vito’s Ristorante & Pizzeria

Vito's Ristorante & Pizzeria (91 Forest Ave., Glen Cove): Vito Marchese introduced this three-foot chicken roll six months ago during a food-eating challenge at his restaurant, where diners were also expected to eat a 22-inch pizza and 12 fresh mozzarella-and-tomato stuffed garlic knots, plus a 2-liter soda. Now, it's a staple at the pizzeria. The three footer, which feeds at least seven to 10 people and costs $45, is made-to-order and can be stuffed with more than just fried chicken cutlet, homemade sauce, ricotta and mozzarella. Customers have the option of getting it stuffed with meatballs, and eggplant, among other items. More info: 516-759-1366; vitospizzany.com

Nina’s Restaurant and Wine Bar

Nina's Restaurant and Wine Bar (487 Main St., Northport): A personal pie at Nina's is 12 inches. A standard pie is 16 inches, and its giant specialty pie measures 20 inches. But, its jumbo pie, dubbed the party pizza, spans 30 inches. Since February 2018, owner Stepan Aslanian has turned out these pies, which are cut into 16 slices then served right in the restaurant, or put in a specially ordered, heavy-duty box for takeout. Aslanian said regular pies go fastest, but they're completely customizable -- from Buffalo chicken, to salad slices and more. He also admits no one has ever finished the pie, which weighs anywhere from 8 to 10 pounds. To move the pie in and out of the oven requires the use of a giant wooden pizza paddle that could accommodate a 30-pound turkey, or toddler. Prices start at $40. More info: 631-261-6822; ninaspizzanorthport.com
